'X Factor' Star Rachel Crow: Nicole Scherzinger Apologized To Me

Many of Rachel Crow‘s fans were devastated after she got the boot from The X Factor, and they chose to take out their aggression on judge Nicole Scherzinger. But Rachel says she isn’t mad at Nicole at all!

Rachel, 14, said at a press conference after the show that she holds no ill will toward Nicole, 33, even though she refused to choose either her or Marcus Canty on Dec. 8, leaving the verdict up to America’s vote.

“She told me that she was sorry,” Rachel said. “But I saw her in her dressing room and she was like, ‘I wasn’t expecting that’ and I was like, ‘It’s not your fault.’ She is the nicest and most beautiful person — inside and out!”
